I wake up with a aching headache.
I see Austin sleeping on his bed, and I'm on the floor? Why am I here? I try to get up but pain streaks through my body, I yelp and hear him turn to the other side. I attempt to crawl out of his room but fail, I can barely walk. "Maria where are you going?" He says grabbing my hand and then picking me up, he laid me on his bead on my back, I still felt the agonizing pain. "Why am I here?" I wince as I try to sit up to look at him. "Um...-.... I picked you up from a party because...Calum hit you because you wouldn't let him...finger you?" He says quickly sounding unsure. I felt lied to and betrayed by Calum. Why would he hit me? He said he would never lay a finger on me like that. "Calum hit me?" I question the words tasted off coming out of my mouth, just rolling of my tongue. He backed away and looked around the room frantically he was hiding something it doesn't sound right at all. Calum told me he would never hit me. I look down at his knuckle, "what happened to your knuckle?" He seemed nervous "I punched Calum" he says cooly, This story doesn't add up?
"Why?" With a quivering in my voice I was totally mortified why would Calum hit me? he sighs
"because he hit you!" He says pulling on his "look Calum is a total ass, he hit you then rammed in to you and made you fall..he said it wasn't an accident then he didn't offer to take you to the hospital so I-I took you home" he stutters. Hmmm.
"Can you take me to the doctor?" I beg. "Um just say you fell though" he says helping me up. I could barely look my back was screaming with pain, my head was throbbing, and my neck aches.

We get to the doctors office and get a few odd stares stares from people in cubicles. This doesn't look like a doctor office?
"Ok you're perfectly fine " The doctor gives me a small smile. I started to zone out thinking about when my life wasn't complete shit. "Maria, I'm taking you home. He grabs a wheelchair and we leave the small odd office.

I fell asleep on the way, Austin lightly shook me and my eyes opened. "Here I'll help you out" he says getting the wheelchair out of the backseat. I sit in it and he wheels me to my house. He knocks on the door hesitantly, steph opens the door with her mouth wide open. "Ma! Come here" Stephanie cries. I feel the urge to cry, I fight against it. "Steph I do not have ti-" my mom chokes on her words and stares at me. "Maria?" Her eyes tear up.
She squeaks and runs out the door and hugs me. "I'm sorry for everything" she wails. When she releases me from a hug, she looks at Austin and grimaces. "Did you do this?" She pokes him in the chest. He gets nervous and shakes his head. "Well I have to go" he says rushing out to his car, he drives off pretty quickly leaving a trail of dust.

They took me to the hospital because my mom doesn't listen.
I get a text from Luke saying he was sorry about Calum. I don't text back, Luke's being to nice to me right now, he shouldn't be though. I deserved everything I got.

We got home and my mom called every family member we know.

"Hello ms. Maria" the doctor says entering the room with a shy smile. I have to admit he was cute, no stop don't think about this right now Maria.
It's not like you're a dating anyone
My self conscious adds.
"Do you mind if I take a look?" He asks politely. I nod and And lay down wincing at the agonizing pain. "Well who ever hurt you was trying reaaaaally hard" he sighs. For 20 minutes he was just poking and prodding me. "Well the X-ray machine shows a broken rib and you have a dislocated shoulder and a broken ankle" he frowns. "You say well a lot" I stammer. He nervously looks away and scribbled onto his notepad. "Here's the medicine you'll be taking" he hands me the paper.
Someone knocks on the door and opens it slowly. A police officer enters the room. "Good morning Ms. Fuentes, I have a few questions to ask you" he says taking out a pen and small leather front notepad.
"Do you know what happened that night?"
"I do not"
The doctor interrupts
"she had a concussion. Oh also amnesia"
My mom wipes a tear away from her cheek. I sigh and look away, i can't look at her when she cries it's the most painful thing I've ever watched. "She would remember falling the down the stairs don't you think?" My mom sobbed, my stomach drops this is so painful. "Well we need you to come to the station for a few hours" the police officer give a me small smile, I turn to my mom "do you think Austin would hurt me?" I peep not wanting to show any emotions. "He's a bad kid, I want him arrested!" She growls and walks out of the room into the waiting room. "I want to find who did this to me" I say broadly but inside I was terrified. What if Calum actually hit me? I should've known.

"When will I get the test results back?" I yawn, ive been her for 4 hours just sitting here watching chat about me and the take swabs and try to get something off my clothes.
Austin's POV
I drove to Michael's house right after I dropped of Maria. He opens the door with a terrified look on his face. "Why aren't you home with cripple" his mood changes to angry. "I took her home" I said feeling numb. His eyes widened, "you did what" he said through his teeth. "I took her home?" I felt scared as he hovered over me with balled fists and his face bright red, his were dark and angry and ready to kill. "You're a fucking idiot! Oh my god we are going to get caught! Oh my god no no no no no!" He yells. Oops. Im fucked
